We flew into calgary from kitchener on route to victoria last nite at sunset.

I dont know how many of the calgary folks saw the sunset, but it was absolutely breathtaking. Glorious brilliant huge red sun sinking slowly, while the dark clouds whisped by. I have to tell you that I cant remember ever seeing a more beautiful sunset.

Calgary looked so beautiful in the dark with the lights of the city glowing so lovely as we took off for victoria.

Hope you were able to enjoy it as much as we did.

Somebody once famously pronounced on here (think it was Howard....?) that you didn't get sunsets in Calgary cos of the mountains!

I read somewhere recently, that the sunsets and sunrises are rather super right now as the atmosphere has dust in it from a volcanic eruption in the Aleution Islands

So make the most of it!!

Shame no piccies

My thought exactly and I was about to say it but you beat me to it.

Finally uploaded my pics and here is the pic of the sunset. Be kind because I was taking it from the plane's window, so its not the best.....

Whats that thing going across the middle? Is there a train line or something??

Biiiiink

Another plane on the apron with its cabin lights on?

Its a long long plane then! Must be the airport transit or something. Maybe a long corridor??

Sth like 20-30 rows in WestJet's 737 fleet... my eyesight's not that good (still in PJs, no contact lenses in yet!) but I think I see fewer than 20 windows there, so I still say it's a plane with cabin lights on

Willmore, give us your full size pic, help stop the eyestrain!

so what are the lights underneath??

a bit later, I zoomed it, it looks like a grandstand???

Picture could not have been taken from the airport.

The sun does not set in the south.

This picture was taken from somewhere E or SE of the downtown core.

I googled and found this
